News, I replaced the motor which had a thermistol connected to it. Also, the new circuit board was installed easily. (6 hours 
The temp plummeted to 10 below zero after 3 hours, then started climbing upward after. Now it is 10 degrees above zero!!
What is going on!! please assist!
Did you follow the directions with the new board and clip the thermistor wire going to the board?
I did it all by myself, and youtube, and constant prayer. I did not know if I was going to get it all back together or not. But yes it was done with mentioned above and about 5 minute conversation with the man I bought the motor from.
God Bless.
I think a lot of times the DIYāers are not given enough credit. Got to remember a lot of DIYāers maybe in similar trades as us and are able to read and understand our diagrams just fine and for the ones who canāt we are more then happy to help.

Is this info only for GE, or are there any other nameplates that it is relevant for?
Boy, my evaporator coil was all iced up too, replace the heater element and thermostat, ended up being the motherboard. It was controlled electronically. All working fine now.
If anybody has re-oiled a motor and found it did not harm the board, please let me identify. I have ample of used board and will use one the after that time I see a breakdown, but without a test process am unwilling to use a used motor in a customerās fridge. Imagine a present check of the winding attainment the square wave might be a high-quality test.
When my refrigerator do not work very well then I contact my dealer and they replacing my GE refrigerator evaporator motors and motherboards.
GE started creation electronic refrigerators, which have one motherboard that controls all functions of the refrigerator. The motherboard controls all so, hypothetically everything that fails on a GE electronic refrigerator can be cause by the motherboard. The deception is to decide if the trouble is the board or a little else. With the cost of these boards there is no require to replace one unnecessarily. Under are some symptoms that are usually caused by a faulty motherboard on these type of refrigerators.

Hi. Iām new to this forum trying to find help for the problem I describe below. My GE Fridge is a DSS25KGRBBB side-by-side and is 14 yrs old.
About 2 weeks ago, we noticed the freezer section not being as cold as before with food starting to thaw and ice to melt. I observed the evap fan spinning very slowly - I thought too slow to pull sufficient air through the evap coils. You could barely feel any air coming out the vents. I checked the evap coils and they werenāt iced up so blockage was not a reason for the low air flow. (Also please note that I changed the defrost thermostat, defrost heater and all 4 thermistors in the unit around 1 year ago as we were having issues with the evaporator icing up).
I checked the main board and it looked fine so I decided to replace the evap motor (WR60X100074). Upon turning the unit back on the fan was spinning fast (like I remember it doing) and the fridge and freezer worked fine for 1 week before the temp started to rise again at which point I noticed the evap fan was not coming on at all and upon checking the main board found the upper of the 2 fairly large resistors burnt out. I removed the 1-week old evap motor and found it to be burnt out (using an external DC source). With the board being the original 14 yr old one I decided to change it along with the burnt evap motor and I also changed the evap thermistor to be on the safe side - so all 3 parts were now brand new.
I re-installed everything and all was working fine - fan spinning strongly, freezer cold, ice maker working great, etc. This morning (so 5 days later) I woke up to find food in the freezer thawing again and the evap fan not coming on at all. I then checked the main board to find that the same resistor that had burnt on the original board had burned on this one too. Arghhhh!! I have not had the chance to check the evap motor but Iām quite sure Iām gonna find it was burned out just like the previous one.
So having changed the evap motor, thermistor and the board, I am totally stumped as to how the board and the motor have again burned out. And prior to all this happening, in the 14 years Iāve had the unit Iāve never had any issues with the evap fan.
Greatly looking forward to some expert opinions on this.
Many thanks in advanceā¦
Amazing.
I have a GE side by side āyellow in colorā purchased in 1972 and no repairs necessary in the last 51 years and the still going strong. Another GE with a top freezer (low-cost unit) āwhite in colorā purchased in 1995 and no repairs necessary in the past 28 years.
Yet the latest purchase, another side by side āstainlessā, in 2014 required a compressor overload switch / relay 15 months later, 3 condenser fan motors, 3 evaporator fan motors (now needs another one) and 2 mother boards. The unit worked perfectly after each āmodificationā for extended time periods. So as not to blame the mother board or the individual motors. No need to search for power surges (unit is protected) or to question the installation. As this needs to be evaluated and viewed upon as the questionable development of a bad product. And āto knock downā a reply referencing why so many units. The yellow one is at a different location and the white one hides in the basement so as not embarrass the stainless one.
However, this 9-year-old wonder is and should be an embarrassment to General Electric and to the engineering staff that developed this product.
Thank you richappy for this post.
My fridge: GE GNE27JSMAFSS
About a month or so ago, my evap fan started making noises: faint rumblings, occasional howls, but seemed to keep working overall. I replaced the motor on 10/29/23 but didnāt replace the motherboard because I had not run across this information yet.
Yesterday, the fridge was warm and the fan wasnāt running. The right LED freezer light was also not working. I unplugged the fan and plugged the old motor in to see if it would run. It did not. I also checked the voltage across the red & white wires and the yellow & white wires. One read around 12v the other around 7v. I donāt remember which was which. I was in a hurry to figure something out before heading to work. I did not test voltages at the motherboard b/c I didnāt have the service manual yet and didnāt know to do it at that time.
I also took out the back panel w/the fan on it and the coils were frosted at the top, but not looking too bad. I put it all back together and it started working. Then stopped. An hour later, my wife said it started working again but that while the fan was running, the right side freezer light was not on. Later, it did come on and now the fan seems to be operating normally and the light works as well.
My question is: Is it likely that the motherboard will eventually malfunction? Would it be wise to buy a motherboard and have it ready? Will this new motor cause problems or is it possible I dodged a bullet by replacing it sooner rather than later?
Thanks of your help.
